I also feel your pain. Years ago my husband bought me a singer machine that after me struggling for ten years acknowledged it was factory defective. I threw it in the garbage so no one else would experience the exasperation.

I don't blame you a bit- I like what dunster said.
Good luck, hon! HUGS |
I have the L500 too and mine has been working fine. I'm crossing my fingers for you that they will send you a whole new one :?

This is a simple suggestion but did you completely unplug the machine from power and replug? This usually will reset the computer inside that is getting the signal you have no bobbin installed.

After having continued bad experiences with the Singer machine my DH purchased for me as a wedding gift in 1969 I took it out in the field behind our home and took a shotgun to it. That was the most pleasure it had given me in the years that I had it. I took would have to take it to have it serviced every time I used it and unfortunately did that until it was out of warranty. It had been in the shop at least a dozen times. The last time the tech told me he had completely disassembled it and discovered it had been put together wrong at the factory but that there was nothing I could do about it now. I never wanted anyone else to struggle with it as I had so disposed of it in the most satisfactory method I knew of. I still collect the vintage Singers because they have never given me a problem and I can fix them myself for the most part but I will NEVER own another modern Singer. If you are going to purchase another one get an older one. You may not have to pay more than what you would pay for the shipping costs on the one you have but you will have a machine that will last. I wouldn't purchase any Singer dated prior to about 1965. Ann in TN

breathe in.....breathe out....and remember you get more out of honey than vinegar! I hope your note was not TOO nasty!
|
(((((HUGS))))) Grab a cuppa and a sweet....then get on your Kenmore. I hope Singer will do right by you. :)
|
Try whispering to it "Does trade in mean anything to you?"
|
I hope there never will be a need to write AGAIN to Singer but if so remember to include a copy of your post on here, there are thousands of us on this board and the last thing singer want is an unhappy customer telling other potential buyers that they can't sort out the problem.

They were all relieved, but they could not not stop her from jumping up and down in her chair and shouting I will not pay $65.00 for postage again.
